Re: Ace ?
I just think it's quite cool that the first US ace since Vietnam was flying a Harrier, rather than one of these new fangled F-15s or some other bolshy fast pointy thing. But Harriers are fast, and nowadays they are also pointy? :crazy_face: He he...I'd like to think it just sat in the hover behind ...

Sarcasm woosh haha! Apart from a few flypasts and a landing, what do you expect from an airborne command and control center? A few rolls; maybe a loop...? <<< That's sarcasm!

Maybe because this is earlier in the year then RIAT. The deliveries of the German Orions to Portugal are taking place already.capercaillie wrote: ↑Thu 29 Feb 2024, 12:47 pmRIAT cannot even get German Navy stuff this year! Great catch.

Re: Goodbye to the Belgian F-16 Display
Did they have two demo pilots between '88 and '96 or is that list incorrect? To add a bit more info: in the early 2000s "John"'s full name was John Vandenbosch, "Mickey" was Mickey Artigues and "Mitch" was Mitch Beulen. About the who is the best a few maybe interesting ...

There is always the SWAFHF. They have used an Sk60 earlier as a support aircraft (the first time they appeared at Volkel).bobby 1211 wrote: ↑Mon 19 Feb 2024, 7:42 pmLooks like the Swedish Air Force SK60 demo will also be retired this season with the type being WFS in June.

Re: 'The face of things to come'
As much as every country replace their fighters with F-35s, a lot of countries are replacing/have replaced their C-130s with the likes of A400, C-27, that Embraer cargo/tanker aircraft and probably a few others that don't spring to my mind (wasn't there a Japanese built aircraft next to the Embraer ...

And if another aircraft intervenes in the demo area for a show in which this one is flying and the only way to prevent a mid air collission is to slam the nozzles in the down position, what would the CAA say? Great job preventing a possible crash! or You are only allowed to perform conventional flig...

Just a warning though, the van Egmond family had a reputation in the 90s for not showing up on the day. Haven't seen them announced much after this era, nor seen at any show.

Re: Berlin Airlift
Not sure if it has taken part in the actual airlift itself. I always thought it was a Dakota that was representing the type as Rosinenbomber. I would imagine if it really was a veteran of the airlift, RIAT would have gone to the max to get it at Fairford in '98 (given that Paul Bowen was still very ...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
The Western Loop was out of bounds/beyond the barriers on the Friday show day. I only went that day and missed the Harriers/Phantom/Fitter etc. Just a word of warning if you are thinking of going on the Friday in case it is the same again. From memory, the green zone (west end) has always been clos...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
Personally I thought it was the worst parking of aircraft in the loop I can recall this year, with the Harriers Phantom and Fitter all too head on to the barrier. They need a small angle and it also makes them more friendly to the light at the start and end of the day, we are trying to watch the fl...
